Synopsis
"One of the most memorable books I have ever read. This memoir of a child caught up in the Holocaust is unputdownable. It tells what happened to this unprotected youngster as the fragrant peacetime days end, the Germans invade his homeland, and the nauseating stench of mass murder fills the air. The simple honesty with which Romek Marber tells his story is elegant and lucid. He is careful not to exaggerate or mislead us and this gives his account an awesome power. Do read it." Len Deighton Published under the Richard Hollis imprint. Romek Marber, after his survival in the Holocaust, arrived in Britain in 1946. He has had a distinguished career as a designer, best known for his Penguin covers in the 1960s and 1970s. He was Head of the Graphic Design Department at Middlesex University from 1967 to 1990 where he is Professor Emeritus, and also Honorary Doctor of Letters, Brighton University. He lives in a North Essex village and is a dedicated cyclist.
